Is your print server (or /var) running out of disk?
As far as printing to NT boxen, I know there was a problem a couple years back where if you had an NT box running print queues and it got too busy, the *NIX queues would just get trampled and never get to send their data to the printer. NT didn't play nicely, it would shove the print requests from our HP-UX boxes to the bottom until every NT print job went through. Not sure if this is still an issue though.
Have you tried FTPing the file from the AIX box to the NT box? Perhaps there's network issues going on that won't allow the file to get to the NT box?

Subject: lpr problems
I am attempting to use lpr on a file of approx 300 MB
My syntax is lpr -s -Pmyqueue myfile
I have set up a AIX remote queue pointing to a queue on NT.
The problem is that when I run the command the queue shows SENDING for a
while and then goes down.
This also occurs if the remote queue is an AIX queue on another box.
Sending small files is not a problem
Any ideas?
